Honestly I don't think it makes sense that the trump campaign made the Epstein investigation such a big deal only to pussy-foot around it in the end makes sense if trump was implicated in that shit. Dude knew if he won that he'd end up with egg on his face. If there's a conspiracy then it's ***ing mossad holding the trump admin hostage with some other shit bc it's actually true that Epstein was a mossad asset.

In case you care this is the official statement:

Their main proof of suicide is a continuous video file of a doorway that was the only way to get to Epstein's cell. Nobody came in or out during that time. It's linked inside the pdf at the end. The "no further release of evidence" is justified by protecting the identities of the victims/not publishing child porn...They definitely have their excuses down.

What a time to be alive!

So...I was right? Also his explanation about the tension counteracting the buoyancy of the steel ball is needlessly confusing. You just need to consider where forces are actually applied.

The string attached to the bottom of the scale arm will transfer F_B to the scale arm in the opposite direction of gravity. The suspended iron ball will not.

Also: the second example ensures that F_B will not be transferred to the scale effectively making it a suspension. => Equilibrium. But getting that just right under real conditions is hard. Even minimal deviations will break the equilibrium.

If that doesn't convince you: make it zeppelin sized.

if you attach a balloon filled with helium to your hair while standing on a scale: Will your weight go down?

technically you're correct. It's a question of where forces are actually applied. the iron ball is suspended so its weight does not impact the downwards force of the left side. The ping-pong ball displaces the same volume as the iron ball.

At first you'd think that this means that the water weight is the only thing that matters. Water weight is identical on both sides => equilibrium.

But: The ping-pong ball is attached to the bottom of the left scale arm. The ping-pong ball is filled with air. That means the string has to keep it under water so it doesn't pop to the surface.

That means that buoyancy is a factor. The ping-pong ball will thus exert a force in the opposite direction of gravity effectively lowering the weight of the right side.

=> Under realistic conditions, the right side will go up due to the buoyancy of the ping-pong ball.

pretty sure that thing is gutted. it's 100% dead. fish just have post-mortem spasm sometimes. Google "cadaveric spasms".

what da dog doin?
